what it’s like to work with me
…immediately understood my creative vision and the deeper meaning behind it
“Before working with [Katel], I felt completely overwhelmed and stuck. I had dreamed of creating a series of short stories to launch my business, but I couldn’t even finish the draft of the first one. After almost a year of making no progress and trying countless approaches, I was on the verge of giving up.
Then I started working with Katel, and everything changed. She immediately understood my creative vision and the deeper meaning behind it. I couldn’t have found a better coach to guide me through this process. Her coaching expertise, gentle support and exceptional talent for writing and editing helped me not only complete my first story but also create thirteen more each with accompanying activities and practices!
Thanks to Katel, I have a project I’m genuinely proud of, and I’m preparing to launch my business built around it. I feel so much more confident and accomplished. I can’t recommend her enough!”
— Erika Z. …truly cares as much, if not more, about my personal wellbeing as a creative
“The best part of working with Katel is that she sees me as a whole person—my identity, my wellbeing, and all. She truly cares as much, if not more, about my personal wellbeing as a creative as she does with helping me move my creative goals and projects forward. I deeply appreciate that.”
— Malaika C.…brings the perfect mix of strategy, intuition, and deep listening
“I went from casually saying, “Maybe I’ll write something someday,” to having nearly 13,000 words written toward a clear and compelling book idea—thanks to Katel.
She’s helped me define a project I genuinely care about and has given me the confidence to actually begin. Katel brings the perfect mix of strategy, intuition, and deep listening. She knows when to affirm, when to push, and how to create a structure that works for me.
From our whiteboard-centric retreats in Philly to thoughtful check-ins in between, Katel has created a space where my ideas can grow—and where I can grow, too.
I’m so grateful to have her as a coach and partner on this journey.”
— Madhu M.…helps me to slow down, reflect and draw meaning from things I often move too quickly past
“Coaching with Katel replenishes my well of hopefulness, empowerment and personal clarity. As someone in a fast paced work environment, she helps me to slow down, reflect and draw meaning from things I often move too quickly past. She’s enriched me and my leadership tremendously.”
— Eva V.…asks the tough questions with grace and skill
“When I work with Katel, I make decisions with more clarity and confidence. She asks the tough questions with grace and skill, helping me find and name my own truth.”
— Kate C.…always seems to know when I need a gentle nudge to stop believing old narratives about myself
“I didn’t know what I needed in a coach until I started working with Katel. She masterfully reflects back to me what I’m saying in a way that brings clarity and she always seems to know when I need a gentle nudge to stop believing old narratives about myself that dont serve me anymore. With her support, I have done more for my career in the last six months than over the last six years.”
